Psycholoy
The Department of Psychology has vibrant undergraduate and graduate programs; and a very large number of active and well funded research laboratories. On the graduate level, the department only accepts students intending to pursue their Ph.D. Students can apply to one of five training areas, but are welcome to work with their advisors or committees to design programs of study that cut across areas. The five areas are:
Clinical
- Cognitive and Neural Systems
- Counseling
- Developmental
- Social, Decision, and Organizational Sciences
The Ph.D. is a research degree and training excellent scientists is a primary goal of the graduate program. In addition, the Clinical and Counseling Programs, both APA approved, subscribe to the scientist-practitioner training model, which prepares psychologists to serve the public to meet increasingly diverse research and professional needs in academic and nonacademic settings.
The department guarantees five years of support and tuition remission (10 credits per semester) to all accepted students. Students must study full-time and are not permitted to hold off-campus jobs unless they are directly related to their educational goals and have been approved by their advisor or committee.
